Garage Cleanout 2007

Ah spring. The time of year when a young man's mind turns to thoughts of cleaning out that horrible collection of garbage, cardboard, and yardwaste from the garage.

Yep, this past Saturday was garage cleanout day and what a cleanout it was. Five trips to the yard waste depot:
- First the bagged leaves and branches from last fall and this spring,
- Then the cardboard pile and more bags of grass clippings.
- The scrap metal of an old file cabinet and the old BBQ (that I had to take apart to fit in the car,
- Followed by branches from the old maple tree that fell down in the front yard last summer.
- And another load of maple tree branches.

There is still some garbage in the garage to get rid of, I just don't know what to do with it yet. Scrap wood and drywall too big for the curb. Time to talk to Steve the Nieghbour and find out what he does. I also still have the large leafless branches of the maple tree I need to cut up with my new electric chainsaw. I'll make sure to do that some night when the Carleton Place hospital is not too busy.
